Easy Boursin Risotto

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups chicken stock, divided (I use a combo of my homemade chicken stock and store bought, but better than bouillon + water is great or whatever)

  • 2 cups arborio rice 

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 package Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Bring 5 cups of the chicken stock to a boil in a large Dutch oven

  3. Stir in 2 cups arborio rice, then cover and transfer to the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 40 minutes.

  4. Remove from the oven, stir in the remaining 1 cup of chicken stock, the juice of 1 lemon, the package of Boursin cheese and 2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Add more stock until you get your desired consistency.

    Note: The risotto can be make up to 48 hours in advance. Let it cool, then refrigerate it right in the pot you cooked it in. To reheat, just add 1 cup of chicken stock and stir on medium heat until it’s a nice thick-but-runny risotto consistency.

 

Remember - your holiday dinner is not the end all and be-all of
